Abstract

Macopa is a partial differential equations solver based on a particular local time-stepping technique dedicated to multi-physics and multi-scale problems. Here, some parallelisation strategies – multi-threading, domain decomposition, and hybrid OpenMP/MPI – are introduced for this solver. Their efficiency is evaluated on a few examples.
